Candles

I make my own febreez (just baking soda, water and liquid fabric softner) i keep baking soda boxes sitting around . i try not to use gel or spray air fresheners.do unscented candles actually help?…any other suggestions?

I agree with you about those scented air fresheners. Just read the warning labels and that is enough for me besides my nose really acts up with those. Some time ago, a friend recommended a product called fridge-IT activated carbon odor absorbers to take care of the smell that was coming from under my sink and trash area. I tried it and it really worked great and without fragrances that just cover up the odor. Since then, I now use Fridge IT odor absorbers just about everywhere around the house to keep those lingering smells away. I buy them usually at Linens N Things but also on line at www.innofresh.com. They have other products I like too.

I have an electric (plug in) potpourri pot for the liquid & gel potpourri. But I was wondering if you can use it to melt wax as a tart warmer?
Also, I know there are tart warmers that use a light bulb, & ones that use an unscented candle, but do they both work the same? I guess it’s hard for me to believe that a light bulb burner can melt wax enough?
Do you think tart warmers smell as strong as candles?

Yes..you can use it as a tart warmer..my mom does all the time…

The little light bulbs get hotter then you think..hehe

Tart warmers smell stronger most of the time because all of the wax or gel is in contact with the hot surface…..on candles..only a small part of the wax is against the flame…

hope this helps

I want to know what is produced when a candle is burned? and I want to know if it is harmful to plants to have burning candles around. Just regular unscented tea candles.

it is not going to harm your plants for no more than you will have it lit. Carbon monoxide is let off when you have candles lit. You might check out www.hsn.com and www.qvc.com both carry "flameless" candles using led lights in a variety of sizes, shapes, and forms, including the tea lights!

why is it so hard to find unscented candles,beside those little tea cup ones

i do use a lot of candles in fact it’s one of my hobbies to melt them down and make my own…you can buy unscented wax at craft shops and make your own…it’s easy and a lot of fun.

quite possibly you really need to get an oil burner

Its hard to find unscented candles in stores, so is it ok to use scented candles in pagan rituals?

i dont see whats against it
just try regular wax candles

Of course not. It is just a small flame. Might take a little longer to roast them.

People light candles for spiritual chants and hymns.
cylinder scented ones?

green candles are lighted for money, prosperity, abundance
blue for peace in family
black for cursing
red for love
use any shape.

i did a science experiment on this question one year and i found that it really didn’t make a big difference between scented and unscented. but the scented burnt just a little bit faster. i don’t remember why though

For me it is the Fresh Air scents and Vanilla

Vanilla. I’ve got one going now.
